Carrollton, TX – Mr. Chad Jameson, Maintenance Crew Leader III for the City of Carrollton Public Works Water Utilities Division, has received the Richard Ridings Community Involvement Award from the Texas Chapter of the American Public Works Association.

This award recognizes public works employees who are also leaders in their community, and encourages public works professionals employed by governmental agencies to become active leaders in their community. The award promotes public trust in public employees through recognition of outstanding community leadership.

Jameson is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the water and waste water systems’ pumps, valves, motors, computers, SCADA network, and all other industry-related equipment. He has been a City of Carrollton employee for 14 years, and has been strongly engaged in community support activities throughout his career. He has held several leadership positions in the Texas Water Utilities Association education and regional school activities that involved children’s poster contests and development of a Public Education Calendar that illustrates “Why Water Matters.” Jameson even finds time to coach girl’s softball and boy’s T-Ball.

“Chad Jameson has a passion to spread the word about water conservation and efficient water usage to our young generation, especially to elementary grade students and scouts. Chad demonstrates his commitment to the community by ensuring current businesses and communities have the same values for protecting our water systems’ environment,” commented Robert Kopp, Carrollton Public Works Director.

Jameson will be recognized at the 2013 TPWA Annual Conference Awards Banquet on Friday, June 7 on behalf of the City of Carrollton. For more information about the projects, call 972-466-4230.
